Ermm. Sorry, but this just isn't going to fly, Peter. You don't just spam over the current copy of *anything* in the CVS repository, be it docs or code, with an outdated copy and call it finished. You're supposed to merge your changes together with the current state of something before you commit again, and asking people to tell you if you've clobbered something of theirs sort of misses the point. It was your responsibity to merge the preexisting changes in without any further intervention on the part of the original authors being necessary - any other scheme would simply lead to chaos. Please bring changes in more gradually or, dare I say it, pass the mantle for the FAQ onto someone who has the time to deal with it on a more timely basis (I've been wondering for quite some time whether that might not be a good idea in any case). Jordan
